@rav3n I reckon I meet criteria for an ED (just been in denial for years). It’s about meeting criteria for the plan. It’s probably best to have intensive support, there is only so much you can do with monthly sessions. Definitely an overlap with physical and mental health. Stress, disordered eating habits, medication and environmental (like mold, dust, pollen) stuff can affect the gut. I have a lot of allergies. We are thinking of getting the house deep cleansed and have carpets changed at some point. I’m not allowed to do much cleaning till my rashes resolve. Melbourne is terrible for allergies. Also stuff lurking.
The physical activity is recent. I used to struggle to sustain exercise due to lack of adequate nutrition. I am doing somewhat better with nutrition after getting meal plans, but still a struggle. They had a functional nutritionist and trainer at the gym that helped me get an exercise routine. It’s just one of those short term exercise-nutrition program thingies, I researched thoroughly to make sure it was legit. I needed some exercise advice since I’m so hyper mobile. They sort of helped with diet a bit in the process.
Though I may look up ED dietician once the whole assessment is complete, it’s probably going to take time to undo all that anxiety. I think I may need to explore activities, maybe try something artistic like drawing or painting. I wouldn’t say I’m a great artistic in terms of drawing and painting. I’ve always been more of a writer, but that can be hard to do when I’m super overwhelmed
